Dear maintainer,

I suggest removing cl-lml2 from Debian for the following reasons:

 * Upstream seems to have orphaned the package - at least I can't
   find the homepage any more
 * There are no votes in popcon
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=cl-lml2&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
 * Besides the two NMUs (NMUers in CC in case they might step in)
   there was no upload since > 15 years
 * Even the simple bug to use source format 3.0 does not get any
   response since nearly one year
 * Its a leaf package which is not needed as (Build-)Depends by
   any other package

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please tag this bug
`wontfix`.  If there are good reasons to keep this package inside Debian
I would happily to Salsa (probably in Common Lisp team) and fix the said
bug.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: cl-lml2 -- RoM; orphaned upstream, low popcon, leaf package
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:cl-lml2

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

    Control: tags -1 + wontfix

Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
      Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

   cl-lml2 |  1.6.6-4.2 | source, all
------------------- Reason ------------------- RoM; orphaned upstream, low popcon, leaf package ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to 1106688@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1106688 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
